Biased Pirate Bay Judge Judged by More Biased Judges
,----[ Quote ]
| To determine if the verdict in the Pirate Bay case was biased, the
| connections of Judge Tomas Norström to national and international
| pro-copyright lobby groups will be reviewed by another judge. However, the
| judge that was initially appointed has already been replaced because she was
| linked to the same organizations as Norström, and her replacement is not
| exactly unbiased either.

infringements -- need to be attacked. So when will they force Google offline
as well.
